The gorge is too steep on both sides of the river. Huge cliffs up high with house sized rocks that have fallen scattered all about. The fill dirt they are using is not organic, so it can be re-used when re-building to standards. What should happen is the construction should be done 24 hrs/ day with everyone on site working. Instead, you get intermittent work with 5 guys watching one guy with a shovel.
Remove the NC government. It is your government people... "We the people" is listed on some sort of document.
Replace the NC government with workers that are helping... Use taxes to pay wages for workers that are local to the area (preferred) then add in more non-local people as needed.
Once the area is recovered hold another election, putting the most helpful people onto the ballot.
This is a nothingburger, nothingberg. #1: Read an article claiming it was a temporary road so maintenance/repair crews could get through. #2: Even if it was built to be a permanent road, Trump is coming in. The deep state government has no sayso in our lives anymore.
You must not know the area. I've spent years in that area since I was a kid. My grandfather lived on the Qualla Boundary (reservation). The only sizable paved roads have to follow the rivers because that's the only part that isn't the side of a mountain. Sure there are small paved and dirt secondary roads leading up hollers or to a home but there's no way to build a road of any size on those hillsides. And those all basically lead to nowhere because all the towns are in valleys carved out by the rivers.

I know these people in that area. They will not be stopped from using the road. If they try to stop them, God help them.

President Trump might help those people from tyranny, if needed.

True. I saw this coming within seconds of reading the story.
Delusional proposal.
